Re: Resolution 20-02
Clean Ohio Conservation Fund (Round 1)
Project: Scioto River Corridor Preservation Project
The City has completed the preliminary requirements for funding a Round 1 Clean Ohio
Conservation Fund project. Please find attached a Resolution authorizing the City
Manager to file a grant application with the Ohio Public Works Commission for Clean
Ohio Conservation funding, and certifying that local funds are available for the City's
matching share.
As you are aware, the Clean Ohio Fund, as approved by Ohio voters, is a $400 million
bond program to be spent over the next four years. The Fund provides for four
program components. These programs are agriculture and farmland preservation,
brownfield revitalization, recreational trails, and greenspace conservation. The City has
applied for Round 1 recreational trails funding, and we would now like to apply for
greenspace conservation funding. Franklin County, District 3, has $2.9 million in
available conservation funding for Round 1. The Round 1 applications in Franklin
County are very competitive, with over $10 million in project funding being requested.
The project eligibility requirements are very specific for the conservation fund. If
acquiring land, the grant requires the land to be purchased and retained in perpetuity,
and used for passive, nature awareness types of activities. The goals for project funding
are greenspace preservation, river corridor preservation and restoration, and wetland
preservation. Projects such as acquiring land for ballfields, playgrounds, and garden
projects are not eligible. The project that we are asking City Council to approve is
acquisition of two adjacent parcels of land along the Scioto River. This would allow the
City to preserve and restore the streamside forest, mitigate or reduce further erosion
of the riverbank, and increase the quality of the wildlife habitat in the area.
If the project is approved for grant funding, the grant would fund approximately 65%
of the land acquisition, and the City would fund the remainder. These properties have
been identified as desirable properties for the City to acquire should they become
available. Should the grant not be funded, it is the current understanding that the
purchase of these parcels will not take place.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact me
with questions or concerns.
